Application for judicial review of extradition order dismissed; personal circumstances did not render extradition unjust.
The applicant sought judicial review of the Minister's decision ordering his extradition to the United States.
The applicant argued that his extradition would be unjust or oppressive under s. 44(1)(a) of the Extradition Act and would shock the conscience under s. 7 of the Charter, primarily because his elderly parents relied on him for care.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the application, finding that the Minister fully considered the relevant circumstances, applied the correct test, and made no reversible error.
The court noted that the need for the applicant's parents to make other care arrangements did not render the extradition unjust or oppressive.
